What's bad about it? No sound or sound but no fuel movement? Depending on the failure, internal or external, pumps can be fixed.

If there is sound but no fuel movement disconect the line from the tank and blow air back into the tank. A cloged tank sock will stop or reduce fuel flow and make the now dry running pump sound like it is falling apart. This is not an uncommon failure.

If no sound put 12V directly to the pump. Just run a wire from the bat right to the pump +. Check the ground as well. If you have a ohm meter test to see if the pump coil is open.
